Wardrobe Staple: Black Blazer



Whether it is a night out or a day running errands, a black blazer is the answer to the "how-am-I-gonna-pull-this-outfit-together?" question. Fitted, Boyfriend, boxy and with Balmain-esque shoulders, this wardrobe must-have comes in so many shapes that it is hard to figure out which one works for you.

Most people should stick to the fitted style with one or two button closures. For the more adventurous fashionista the double breasted style or an exaggerated shoulder/lapel/hem/what-have-you, can add an unexpected edge to any outfit.

Next time you are in a fashion pinch just toss on your favorite black blazer and you will instantly look polished.
